The point of using devm_add_action_or_reset() was specifically to avoid having
to have the cleanup gotos. On top of that, the lm75_remove() function was
specifically intended to clean up configuration data, not to do anything else.
While hijacking lm75_remove() to also disable the regulator is technically
correct, it makes the code more difficult to understand, and it creates a
potential source for subsequently introduced bugs. Right now I am not inclined
to accept this code as-is. Please provide arguments for handling the cleanup
this way instead of using devm_add_action_or_reset().
